Don' forget to love your own company's brands

I had a web hit from someone at Microsoft today, and what I thought was funny was that the searcher used Google.com. That reminded me of a story.

Way back I got my dream summer job, an internship at IBM, and my first day in the office my boss asked me to make a copy of a bunch of documents, so I went to one of the other people in my office and I said, "Hey, can you tell me where the Xerox machine is?" He responded, "We make copiers here."

Hi, John,

This story brought me right back in time to my own early years at IBM when I had exactly the same exchange. What a strong culture that was!
